Mr. Pier nuide n few very interest injr remarks, lie hrietly stated conditions in his boyhood days, when 12 to I I hours labor was exacted. To day the public realizes that all need wholesome recreation, and nothing hcciuh to satisfy the de mand better than a well regula ted park.

In this con nection Mr. Kayser stated wa ter would be installed in tiie very near future, and a rest room and other conveniences will be installed as fast as ap propriations are made. This matter was fulh explained by Mr. Johnson, who said the itn- the Peninsula are being recog nized. The largest ships afloat are coming and going from Ter minal No. -I, and in a short time the entire Peninsula wntcr front will be a hive of industry. The sound of the trip hammer would still the voice of tho knocker and industry will bo crowned as King. Dr. II. F. Jones spoke of tho moral and spiritual needs of the Peninsula. He said under the proper rcrulations a public park would aid in suppressing vice and crime. With n well Letter From Honolulu Honolulu, Jan. loth, 1!)22, Johns Study Club, Portland, Ore.

To day was the final ceremony, the last of the ancient ceremonies, for with the burial of this prince Hawaii's monarchy is no more. The procession was mi especially long one with tho Hawaian schools, societies, gov ernor, foreign consuls here and urn u. o. army, etc. it was made even more impressive by the army aeroplanes constantly nying ovcrneiKi anil the guns llral every minute.
